-Hello? -Hello, this is the Leopard speaking.
What happened, Rabbit's dad? You don't want to speak to Rabbit?
Omi, if you lay a hand on Maroot…
Sorry, I've already done that.
Hand over Montoo, and take back Maroot.
It's simple. And yes, my drugs too.
This entire operation will be off the record.
Return Montoo, return the drugs.
-And bring back the kid. -Don't try to pull any smart move.
After that,
Come out of the car.
Angad Mallik!
Omi, where's my son, Maroot?
-Where is Maroot, Omi? -Dad!
Maroot!
No… I had asked her…
Yes, Mr. Angad?
Not at all, please tell me.
Did you tell Bhaati sir?
Yes, I'll reach as soon as I can.
Wait… She has woken up
I'll find out…
Did they find the killer?
You've never asked me about any case before.
Yeah, but you've never worked on such a big case before.
I'll tell Nutan to make breakfast.
She has her exam today.
Oh, yes, I forgot.
I'll come back in an hour and make breakfast.
An hour won't make a difference.
Nothing makes a difference to you, anyway.
Go.
Hello. Yes, I asked her.
She didn't tell me anything.
She left for the police station early. Angad had called her up.
I'll let you know as soon as I find out.
Yes, for sure. Okay.
Look at this, sir. At 10:21 p.m., she went somewhere alone, in that direction.
And then, she came back with a boy, on a motorcycle.
I think they went toward Hotel Bom.
-Jai Hind, sir. -Jai Hind.
Aimee on a motorcycle?
And that boy is Mr. Ramsaran's son, Bunty.
-Bunty? -He is a tourist guide, sir.
He studied in my daughter's school. He flunked 12th grade.
And this is outside Cafe Sironah.
Yes, Cafe Sironah, where there do not have CCTVs.
After all, Ms. Rewa said so.
-Angad? -Yes, sir?
-Bring the boy in for questioning. -Okay, sir.
Save this, son. It might be needed in my last days.
For now, give me the chillum. I have filled it.
Light the match.
My father also had the same disease.
You know how he was cured?
How?
One day, my father went to the jungle. Deep inside.
There he found the Mystery Mushrooms, and ate it.
And when he came back, he was completely cured.
Like he never had cancer.
But my father stopped talking.
-You know why? -Why?
My mother used to say, that dad had seen the Leopard-Man.
Rewa suspected that Mr. Govind was having an affair?
His own wife suspects him, but some people want to give him a medal for honesty.
I… I had bought these for you.
-Didn't want to give it in front of Julie. -What is it?
Gloves. You wouldn't have bought them yourself.
Thanks for these, and sorry about Julie.
Just remember, she is a suspect.
And we should keep an eye on the suspect, all the time, right?
What are you doing?
Nothing actually. I was just sorting some old stuff.
You were out whole night, I wanted to talk to you.
Brother, you?
Who is it, son? Bunty?
Bunty.
Bunty!
-No! -Bunty!
Who locked the door?
Bunty!
Bunty! My son!
Bunty!
Mr. Ramsaran? Please get up.
What happened? Where's Bunty?
I don't know. There was a knock on the door, Bunty opened it.
After that, I don't know, maybe someone--
-When did this happen? -About two minutes back, sir.
-My medicine… -Where is the medicine?
Mr. Ramsaran, you mentioned that Bunty was hiding something?
The last few days, Bunty seemed to be a little scared.
As if he had seen a ghost.
Or maybe… a leopard.
Thank God that black leopard ran away after hearing the gunshot.
-It was a black leopard? -Yeah. Why do you ask?
Day before yesterday, a black leopard came near our house.
Near your house?
Yes. Normally, a lot of animals can be seen around,
but a black leopard has been sighted in Sironah after many years.
Mr. Rana, order a search party for Mr. Ramsaran's son, Bunty.
I have sent his photo and number to you on your WhatsApp.
Alert all police stations in the district.
And also put in an application for CDR. Over and out.
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Ramsaran thinks that someone has abducted his son Bunty.
He is a father, he must be trying to save his kid.
Whether he ran away, or was abducted,
how did it happen right before we were about to reach?
If Ms. Rewa would have told someone,
she would've done that way back after seeing the footage.
But she hasn't seen the footage yet.
The only people who know about Bunty are you, me,
and Bhaati sir.
Does Bhaati sir have a history of bribes, corruption, any such thing?
Nothing has come to the forefront yet.
But could Bhaati sir be a sellout?
He's been here for so long, he could have sold out to anyone.
So, what now?
Until we don't find conclusive evidence, let's play it safe.
-Let's keep it between us? -Let's do that.
Look at this.
Oh, wow. You wore them?
Oh, wow. You're seeing it now?
Rizwan, have you seen this boy, Bunty Rawat?
No, sir, I haven't.
Have you seen him?
-Mr. Agarwal. -Yes?
-Have you seen Bunty Rawat today? -No, I haven't seen him.
-Are you sure? -I'm sure.
-Yes, madam? -Mr. Rana, any news?
I've sent a search party, madam, but we haven't found anything, yet.
Send two sergeants to the bus station, make sure all the buses are checked.
Okay, madam.
Remove that, sir.
Ma'am, have you seen him?
-Have you seen him? -No.
Listen, don't care about the handwriting, write your answers fast.
Take a lot supplement sheets, okay?
Mom, we have to tick the right answers.
Select one from multiple choices, like you do with your suspects.
Okay, I hope all the suspects you select are correct answers.
I just hope you get through the IIT entrance exam.
Mom, that will happen after a year.
This is an exam to quality for IIT's "Special 20". Did you forget?
I did not forget anything.
I'm very sure that you will qualify in the top 20 for IIT.
That's okay.
Do well, Nutan.
All of Sironah has high hopes from you.
Okay, enough, leave me now.
Bye.
Hi, Nutan. Are you prepared?
-Will question 24 be in the test? -Maybe.
Or whatever your name is.
Three days ago, I had asked for the call detail records of five people.
Only five, there are more in the offing.
So, if I don't receive those for the first five people,
then start looking for a new job.
And by tomorrow, if I don't get the rest, I'll start looking for you.
Do you understand?
-Mr. Rana. -Yes.
Ask Bahadur and Langdu Khabari to work round the clock.
Bring in the tourist guides and beat the crap out of each of them.
-Tell them we want Bunty. -Okay, madam.
-Did you get through to Bunty's phone? -Still switched off.
-Chauhan. -Yes?
What about the red-alert report?
Madam, checkpoints are in place, they're checking all the buses and taxis.
And if they left in a private vehicle?
Then…
There's a trail from the small runnel to Ring Road.
Send a search party there.
-And you will lead it yourself. -What?
Yes.
And if that boy's body is found anywhere,
ripped off or hanging, then all of you will go on a year-long leave with me.
That too without pay.
Kasturi Auntie.
I want to surrender myself.
Bunty, my grouch of an aunt Ratna also sent me a "best of luck" message.
I know you don't use emojis,
but you could've at least sent a lousy thumbs-up?
I was expecting you to behave better than this. I swear.
Shall we make it viral baby?
-Good morning, students. -Good morning, ma'am.
-Have you switched off your mobile phones? -Yes, ma'am.
Where did you go early in the morning?
-I was hiding in the jungle. -Why?
I got a call that you guys are coming to arrest me.
-I don't know who it was from. -Where's your phone?
-I dropped it somewhere. -Why do you want to surrender, Bunty?
Tell us!
I raped and murdered that French girl, Aimee.
Have you been paid off, or have you been threatened?
No, Auntie. I raped and murdered her.
I knew Aimee from before.
They came here about ten to twelve days back.
I had wooed her over since then.
I had become very good friends with her. Then on that day, she said…
I can speak decent amount of English, so I had become friends with her.
She was very beautiful. I just wanted to do something.
What happened that night?
I thought she wouldn't come, but she came, and we went to Hotel Bom.
Look, this is Cafe Sironah, and after that comes the Taj Lodge.
And a little further than that is Bom.
Right?
You took that girl from Taj Lodge… to Bom.
Then why were you guys seen in the CCTV footage of Cafe Sironah,
coming from this direction?
Actually, Auntie, I was somewhere over here.
She was coming from this side, on foot.
Why?
I don't know, sir, I met her on the way.
It's true, Auntie.
You just said that
you had promised Aimee that you would take her to the disco.
-Yes, Auntie, I did. -Then?
Then…
Two lemonades!
Everything was going well, and then Kanti Dhumal came there.
He started talking to Aimee.
He impressed her, and then took her to the dance floor.
They were dancing together and having fun.
I stood alone and watched them.
After some time, Kanti and Gagan left from there.
Then I took her to the room upstairs.
She wouldn't cooperate, so,
under the pretext of dropping her to Taj Lodge, I took her to the jungle, and--
First, you raped her, then you murdered her.
Then you hung the body from the tree?
Yes, sir.
We will take his samples, they will surely match. Then, we can close the case.
-What do you think, Ms. Kasturi? -Yes, why not?
He must have killed Sundar, too. Isn't it, Mr. Bunty?
If you have committed any other rape, murder or theft, tell us now.
We can resolve all court cases in one go.
-Mr. Rana. -Yes, sir!
Call the attendant from the Civil Hospital.
Let's take his blood and semen samples here,
I will speak to Dr. Joshi.
He is lying.
Let's take his semen sample.
Why take his semen sample? It's obvious, he is very scared.
-I understand, but who is threatening him? -Did he say anything?
-Jai hind, sir. -Jai hind. Did he confess his crime?
That bloody two-bit tourist guide!
Did you hear what he asked? "Did he confess his crime?"
How did he know that Bunty's the perpetrator?
He only saw the CCTV footage, in which Aimee was with Bunty.
He has some history with this, Ms. Kasturi.
Yeah, it could be.
What is this, Nutan? You didn't even attempt one question?
-Sir. -Yes?
Thank you.
He is confessing to the crime, and he says that he told you everything.
And you told me that he said nothing.
-What is happening here? -You are lying.
-What? -That boy is lying, sir.
Let the court decide that.
Our job is to collect the evidence,
take the statements, and file the charge sheet.
But, sir, that girl's body hanging from the tree,
Kanti's name coming up, and then Sundar's murder…
We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
That guy is confessing that he committed the rape, get his medical done,
take his statement, then take him into remand.
Keep moving forward.
HIMACHAL PRADESH POLICE
-Jai Hind, sir. -Jai Hind. Go.
Ms. Kasturi, we'll soon be getting love letters from higher authorities.
Let them come. No one's written me a love letter till now. And you?
-I'll look into Bunty's remand. -Okay.
Didi, how was the exam?
Superb. Now, let me sleep.
Yeah, Mom?
How did your exam go, Nutan?
-It went well. -Rest now.
Don't think about it too much. I'll come home early in the evening.
Okay, Mom.
Nilima, please take your medicines.
Ever since that French girl Aimee's news came out, you've been very disturbed.
No.
Before killing her, he raped that poor girl.
Wonder what her parents must be going through--
Do you know,
people are saying that… the Leopard-Man was behind this.
The same thing happened 19 years back. I was 18 years old.
Ravi, my best friend Swati was returning home late at night, and she…
She was brutally raped--
-I don't want to hear this! -Why?
Why? Why, Ravi?
Do you know anything about this rape and murder? Tell me, do you?
Hari. Did Nutan eat anything?
She's been quiet since she came back from the exam. It didn't go well.
Is that so?
It's okay, the real exam's a year later. This was just a test.
Everything's the same to her. She doesn't care about the kids.
What happened, darling? Are you not feeling well?
No, Mom. I just nodded off a little.
Hey, what happened?
-Tell me. -Nothing, Mom. I'm just a little tired.
A mother,
and a policewoman on top of that. It's a dangerous combination.
Your exam didn't go well?
Where did you get this?
This… I bought this from Cafe Sironah.
-When? For how much? -You started your interrogation again?
I don't remember, Mom. It's a trivial thing.
-What happened? Does it not taste good? -It tastes good.
By the way, that Bunty, Mr. Ramsaran's son,
did he write his 12th grade examination?
I wouldn't know.
But you knew him.
He was the captain of the football team, so everyone knew him.
He dropped out of school, Mom.
Mom, why are you asking about Bunty?
Actually, we have arrested him today.
In that French girl's case.
-The honorable DC. -Hello, sir.
Come in, let's chat for a bit.
Sure.
Jagdamba and you…
don't have a problem with the project, but with me.
This is not true. There's no personal problem with you.
Now, there will be.
There will be personal problem.
I don't get it.
Then don't get it. Just know this,
I am aware of what happened at Hotel Bom on the night of 12th November.
What had happened?
You will need this.
Is one week in police custody enough, Inspector?
For now, that's enough, Your Honor.
Do you want to say something, Bunty Rawat?
That boy who confessed to the crime, Bunty,
what else has been found out about him?
Only whatever's available with the media.
You were saying something.
Mr. Manhas asked about the project again.
I think he should be granted the permission.
I respect you a lot.
But I would like to say one thing to you.
We can't shake hands with a snake
because snakes do not have hands.
Mr. Negi, quickly get him into the car.
Mr. Ramsaran, persuade him however you want,
but please convince Bunty to tell us the truth.
How are you, Dad?
What is the police saying, Bunty?
They're telling the truth, Dad. I committed a mistake.
You have made a mistake, son,
by confessing to a crime committed by someone else.
That too without thinking of your father.
I beg you, son,
tell the truth to the police. Come on, son.
Whatever I told them is the truth, Dad.
Dad. Dad, take your medicines on time!
Dad, take care of yourself!
Please, Dad! Please take care of yourself!
Ramsaran!
I have something important to discuss.
Come, we'll smoke up first. Then I'll drop you home.
Are they old friends?
They know each other, but they were never friends.
Come to the point, Mahadev. There's very little time.
The work is at the DC office, Ramsaran.
I need entry into the courtroom.
But they don't let anyone enter it.
If they did, we wouldn't be discussing this over a smoke.
You son is innocent, and only I can prove this.
I'll seek Ashok sir's help for Bunty.
Ashok sir will also ask you for evidence, right?
And the evidence… is in that room.
When do you want to go?
You're the one who doesn't have time.
Hurry up, Mahadev.
The number you're trying to reach…
ROPE USED FOR HANGING
What is your first love? Politics and crime reporting.
And, mine? Wildlife.
And what are we doing here? Shooting a stupid wedding.
Come on, Alok. Don't start whining early in the morning.
I'm whining? You can't even get a decent cup of coffee here.
What is the groom doing here? Alok!
Yeah.
What happened?
Start recording.
Why have you come now? Please, go away!
Please, go away, Ravi!
